My grandfather told us our ancestors were Mennonites from Holland about 1800. Four brothers came over together. Our line eventually moved from Pennsylvania into Ohio, then Missouri, then Oklahoma. I think he said it was his grandfather that left the community and married a Scottish Protestant girl, becoming a member of the Church of Christ. Anyway, I would like to know more about the family name. I am suspecting it is German Swiss. Any help would be appreciated. My email: kiamichi47@yahoo.com.
